Online Scavenger Hunt #1 Results; Scavenger Hunt #2 Available

Last week, we debuted our first Online Scavenger Hunt﻿ for CWN 150 fans. There were only a few participants, so we are looking for more participants. If you're on the internet anyway, join the fun, do some simple searches, and earn great FREE prizes in the process! Here are the results of last week's scavenger hunt, along with the leaderboards.

Send in your answers to hrnmed@gmail.com with "Scavenger Hunt #2" written in the subject line.

We will post weekly leader boards and “rank” promotions on the CWN 150 blog. Enjoy the hunt and have fun! You have until midnight on 15 May 2011 to complete Scavenger Hunt #2.

QUESTION I: PICTURE HUNT (3 Points)

What ship is this? (Hint: She’s named after a river) _____________________________

QUESTION II: CWN ANAGRAMS (5 Points)

This week’s addition has 5 Anagrams worth 1 point each. Scramble the words into Civil War navy-related ones. You will see that we have identified how many words it scrambles into. For instance, the anagram “2 words: Siphon in us” is actually “Union Ships.” If you get all 5 correct, you will receive an extra five points. All anagrams this week have to do with 1861. Part of the first one is done for you. What is an anagram?

“We have been hearing hints of a blockade but last night the news reached us that the United States Government established on the 6th of May, a blockade of all Southern ports, beginning at Pensacola. This is bad but the South has so many bays and inlets along her miles and miles of sea-coast that it seems almost impossible to prevent the entrance of vessels that wish to come in.”
